Historian James Truslow Adams often receives credit for first popularizing the idea of the American dream.
Other writers have written about these hard truths which have made the American Dream an illusion: John Steinbeck (1902-) in The Grapes of Wrath (1939) and J. D. Salinger (1919-) in The Catcher in the Rye (1951) are two examples.
